Greg,

You might get in touch with Bob Davis or Dale Erwin in Modesto and Fresno
areas. They have lots of experience with them. My experience is that they
are a bit heavier and can sometimes benefit from some juicing but I like the
tone they can produce. I use them when the piano has action geometry that
allows the wieght, and a piano, like say a M&H BB, that can use the power.

  List,

      Would someone inform me a bit about Isaac hammers?  I've long been
aware of them, but never used them, and know that some techs swear by them
as the only true antidote to Japanese and German hammer voicing
frustrations. I can't seem to get an answer to emails sent to Ari Isaac, so
I'm hoping someone can answer my question.  His website gives mouthwatering
descriptions of their tonal properties, but what are they like in the weight
department?  Are they appropriate for, for example, teens vintage S&S or
other older American makes that used lightweight hammers?  Will I have to
deal with touch weight issues?
  Thanks.
